What does "turn on the UDMA" mean ?
How do you know that the speed is increased? I have been having problems where
when I use the -d1 option by itself, the next disk access locks things up. I
get around this by explicitly setting the x-fer rate (-X66 for Ultra33, -X68

The downside involves just how much data you're reading in. Seeing as how the speed
is now so much greater - about 5 times greater - you run the risk of having your hard
drive coming loose, bouncing around inside the case, and perhaps causing bodily harm
if it should escape altogether.
